Hello Lovely People!
Some
people buy lots of shoes. Some buy lots of lipstick. Me? I buy lots of
foundation.
It’s
my favourite part of my make up routine. Hands down. There’s something so
satisfying about seeing all the imperfections and uneven skin tone disappearing
the more you apply.
I
thought I’d use my collection to my advantage, and pick out a few of my favourites
for different wants and needs so that if any of you are on the market for a
newbie, i might be able to push you in a helpful direction.
Oily
skin
This
foundation dries down and feels matte to the touch, so much so that I don’t
even need to set it with a powder - which is a revelation for me. In my
experience this will work wonders at staying on oily skin all day and keeping a
shiny T zone from occurring. This is one I pick if I know I have a long day ahead of me, especially when it comes to travelling. It's long-lasting abilities are like black magic, I swear.
Dry
skin
Those
with dry skin need to look no further. Le Teint Touche Éclat has the most
beautiful, dewy finish that doesn’t cling to dry patches or go patchy. This is
my faaaavourite foundation in Winter, when my skin is lack lustre and needs a
bit of TLC. It makes me look all healthy and glowy and has the same
illuminating properties as the famous Touche Éclat pen, meaning it’s meant to
give you the appearance that you’ve had 8 hours sleep - something we are all
guilty of not getting.
Special
occasions
This
is my all time favourite foundation, I just don’t use it a lot. I whack this
baby out for any special occasion or where I know I could be caught on camera.
This cream stick literally melts in to the skin as you blend and leaves a
gorgeous full coverage finish that lasts all night. I use this sparingly as it
does have a high price tag, but it is for good reason. I also think treating my
face to my top shelf products from time to time really boosts my mood and I can
definitely tell the difference to my usual day to day, and this has been the
best I’ve come across to date.
On A Budget
This
is a big brand in the United States, found in drug stores at affordable prices.
My favourite influencer and big name beauty youtuber, Tati (GlamLifeGuru) is
obsessed with this, and therefore I had to buy it. Since it’s not a brand
readily available at a pop to the shops in the UK, I turned to Amazon. I think
this is usually only about $5 but all in all I paid just over £10 after
p&p which is still a bargain in my eyes. I am amazed at the quality of this
and would say it’s even better than some of my high end products. The formula
is a lightweight matte finish and every day that I wear this I get multiple
compliments on how my skin looks, I even plan on buying multiple shades so I
can wear it when I’m not tanned as well!
Great For Everyday
Luminous
silk is a cult classic. If you’re like me and you love a glowy skin day then
this is the answer. There’s just no faults with this one. It’s a brilliant all
rounder and a foundation I wear on a very frequent basis. It doesn’t feel
heavy, never looks cakey and with a bit of powder in areas it stays put
throughout my day - looking fresh for hours on end. Definitely one that ticks
all of the boxes.
That
brings us to the end of this little post! I’m always looking to buy more
foundation, even when I don’t need to. If you have any suggestions of what to
try next - make sure to let me know!
